7 Great Things About GCU Library You Have To Experience The third and fourth floors of Building 29’s Student Union house the Grand Canyon University library.
The library is a valuable resource for students at GCU. Additionally, it aids in the formation of the crucial reading habit.
Your GCU student portal login credentials, which you use to access your classes, are also your Library login credentials.
The video below, titled “Library Walkthrough,” provides comprehensive instructions on how to locate books, articles, and use the LopeSearch.
1. Great GCU library study rooms
You can study in peace and quiet in the study rooms at the GCU Library. Although study rooms in the Library can be reserved on-site, making an appointment in advance is the most convenient option.
You can choose to schedule two one-hour sessions each week. There are televisions in the larger study rooms, and you can borrow an HDMI cable to connect a laptop.
The biggest advantage is how quiet the study spaces are. For commuters or locals who require a specific time and location to study, the study rooms are excellent private settings.
Although study rooms are a component of the library, their ambience is distinct from that of the rest of the space. The study rooms are the ideal spot for people seeking a peaceful area to work because of the extra benefit of being indoors and relatively private.
